Rules for merging reports

This table shows rules that are used to merge reports to create purchase orders:

Scenario Rule
The PO RRAR report is ready to be merged into a purchase order. The next available purchase order number is taken from the warehouse's Product Warehouse Description Setup record and replaces the report number currently assigned to the PO RRAR.
Addons are present on the Vendor Setup-Ordering record. Addons are included on purchase orders created.
Order discounts are present on the Product Line Setup record. They are included on purchase orders created and calculated for the combined purchase orders.
You merge reports on gross prices, based on the PO Merge Price value in SA Administrator Options-Documents-Purchase Orders-Replenishment. The target discount is added to the purchase order discount located on the header.
You merge reports based on net prices, based on the PO Merge Price value in SA Administrator Options-Documents-Purchase Orders-Replenishment. The target discount is distributed to each line item and the order discount on the header will be zero. This does not apply to reports created in Purchase Entry Program Purchase Report.
A whole order discount is indicated on the Purchase Demand Center Entry header record. The discount is written to the new purchase order header that is created.
The Whole Order Discount field was not overridden in Purchase Demand Center Entry. The Product Line Setup target buy amounts are used to establish a better discount if the final report total qualifies for a better discount.
A purchase order tie is established with an order that subsequently creates a back order. The purchase order tie is established with the back order rather than the original order.
Back orders need to be created in Stage 1-Ordering, based on the Back Order value in SA Administrator Options-Documents-Transfer Orders-Processing. They are created during the merge process.
The report is merged and more than 998 lines exist. The remaining lines are carried to a new purchase order when the report is merged.
